Tristan from Pennsylvania

Tristan is an affectionate, helpful, and animated teenager. He's very friendly and eager to spend time with adults who take time to get to know him. He's a really active kid who enjoys riding his bike, playing basketball, fishing, or engaging in other sports and family activities. He'd also appreciate spending quality time together playing video games, watching superhero ("Marvel" AND "DC") movies, or playing card games and board games. He likes all kinds of Rap music from popular artists to Spanish and Christian Rap. He would like people to know that he is funny and talkative, and he's a "hugger." Future career aspirations may include being a chef, designing clothing, or becoming a scientist. He loves to look through recipes in magazines for inspiration and learning to cook new things. Tristan is eager to move forward with the right family who sticks by him, never gives up, and gives him the unconditional love, time, and attention he needs to thrive and grow. He believes that it's important to be a part of a family because, "You have people to look out for you and help you become a better person; you have people who care and love you." Many different family dynamics and locations would be suitable, but Tristan would likely do best in a family with a strong, positive male presence Parental rights have been terminated for Tristan.
